About

addons.mozilla.org is a resource for finding and installing Extensions and Themes for Mozilla products.

Mission / Policy Draft

Our policy is being worked on. Help us work on the draft.

Schedule

Date Task
December 31 Split developer and public pages in CVS
End of March Complete and release public v2.0 code and begin focus on developer tools
April-May Rewrite of developer tools one-script-at-a-time

Roadmap

v1.0

v1.0 was released, based in part on work done in the security audit. Further revisions will be addressed on a case-by-case basis as our efforts turn towards v2.0, which is based on a much better framework.

v2.0

addons.mozilla.org will be rewritten. v2.0 has two key points:

  • reimplement and fix existing features and functionality
  • add new features and functionality

We realize that rewriting has been a long time coming. This is why we have reevaluated our situation and have set more realistic short-term goals.

Read the v2.0 plan.

Volunteering

We are always looking for volunteers to help us with AMO.

Review Add-ons

We are in need of people to review extensions and themes that get submitted to AMO. We urgently need mac OS users, while Thunderbird and Suite/Seamonkey users are also in short supply. If you are interested in being a part of this exciting project, please do the following:

  1. Create an AMO account.
  2. Send an email to umo-reviewer at mozilla.org with the subject "AMO Volunteer Step 1". The email should contain: the name you used when creating your account and the email address you used for the account. Please also mention which products you use (i.e. Firefox, SeaMonkey, Mozilla, etc) on which operating systems, and any experience you have testing or creating extensions.

Also, please join us in #addons on irc.mozilla.org to start getting a feeling for what's up!

If you sent your request before November and have not received a response, please email us again, following the directions above.

Develop the Website

The website is constantly under development, and there are plenty of bugs in it. They're just waiting for you to come along and fix them! See for yourself ;)

The site's written in php. If you're interested in helping out, stop by #umo-dev or #addons on irc.mozilla.org for a chat. You'll probably want to talk to morgamic.

Other ways to help

You can also help out by triaging bugs (see these notes) and hanging out in #addons giving support :)
